Drew, do you have permission to post that picture from the owner of that beautiful HB/W car?

Oh, I think that the signals look out of place on that rustang.

part sharing/stealing happens alot. look at pictures of the Lamborghini Diablo (fixed head light version) and a Nissan 300zx. same exact headlights. the only difference is that the Lambo has a carbon fiber strip across the top of the headlight where NISSAN is embossed on the glass

Some of you guys are nuts...I'd love to own a Saleen, and that one is hot. Unfortunately, the wallet (and wife) say no way.

Need closeup shots of the Stang's lens.
IMO they should have been in the bumper.

Not a ton to go by on their website...but from what I can see, it sure looks like a match to me. Both seem to have that little hook on the amber part at the top and bottom...although the lens seems a little more clear on the Saleen.

Lotus had used Toyota Supra tail-lights on their 1980's Esprit...The Oscar Meyer Weinermobile uses 1995-ish Trans Am tail lights...I don't think they look bad on the Saleen, and having a Mini part on a Mustang is certainly better than having Mustang parts on a Mini!!!

You guys just had me ran out to the garage and do an inspection on the Hubby's 2007 GT500. I thought I'd have a good laugh. No Mini looking lights to view on that one.
